R.E.M |Losing My Religion| - (Rate the Song)

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

Oh life, it's bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up

Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
That was just a dream

That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no, I've said too much
I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream
Try, cry, why try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream

5 - I like REM a lot and this song has over average lyrics and arrangements, but my fav albums are the debut and of course the neo-psychedelic Monster.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Probably a 7, very catchy, I think I liked it more when I was younger. Maybe I've heard it too much at this point.

4 or 5. I've always found the song a bit whiny & preachy for some reason I can't really explain.
I don't think it's even the best song on the album, Country Feedback crushes it IMO.

6 people give it a Very Good, that's nice.

7/10

It's a shame this is the song the general public remembers R.E.M. for. Their discography is filled with LITERALLY dozens of better songs. Hell, it's not even the best song on "Out of Time".
